Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, specifically to a bottle conveying device for a filling machine. Background Technology

[0002] In modern bottling lines, the efficiency and flexibility of bottle conveying devices are crucial for the smoothness of the entire production process. However, existing bottle conveying devices have significant limitations in meeting the filling time requirements of filling machines.

[0003] First, traditional bottle conveying systems typically use a single conveying path, making it impossible to flexibly switch bottles to another filling line while the filling machine is waiting to complete its filling task. This design forces bottle conveying to stop during filling waiting periods, resulting in a significant decrease in production efficiency. Second, existing conveying systems lack automated and intelligent switching capabilities. After the filling machine completes filling a set of bottles, manual intervention is required to adjust the conveying path, which not only increases operational complexity and labor costs but may also lead to production interruptions and instability.

This device has a simple and reliable structure, effectively solves the aforementioned technical problems, and is suitable for widespread use. To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0005] A bottle conveying device for a filling machine includes a belt conveyor mechanism, a diversion mechanism, and an adjustable baffle assembly.

However, the specific implementation methods and embodiments described below are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

Figure 1 The directions or positional relationships shown are for the purpose of describing this utility model only, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0019] In the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.

[0020] To solve the above technical problems, such as Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model designs a bottle conveying device for a filling machine, including a belt conveyor mechanism 1, a diversion mechanism 2, and an adjustable baffle assembly 3. The belt conveyor mechanism 1 has an input section 11, a first output section 12, and a second output section 13. The diversion mechanism 2 is used to guide the bottle into the first output section 12 or the second output section 13 at the input section 11 of the belt conveyor mechanism 1. The diversion mechanism 2 includes a support frame 21, a linear telescopic driver 25, and a frame 22. Two sets of support frames 21 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame of the belt conveyor mechanism 1. On each side, each set of support frames 21 is connected to a rotatable frame 22. The frames 22 on both sides are connected by a linkage plate 23 to form a stable linkage structure. One side of the linkage plate 23 is provided with an L-shaped connector 24. The frame 22 is used to connect with the adjustable baffle assembly 3. One end of the linear telescopic actuator 25 is connected to the support frame 21. The support frame 21 is provided with a corresponding oblong hole for installing the connecting shaft. The output end of the linear telescopic actuator 25 is rotatably engaged with the connector 24. When the linear telescopic actuator 25 is working, its The extension and retraction motion of the output end is transmitted to the frame 22 through the connector 24, driving the frame 22 to rotate around the rotational connection axis between it and the support frame 21. The linkage plate 23 drives the two side frames 22 to rotate synchronously. This design utilizes a simple linkage transmission principle to convert linear motion into rotational motion of the frame 22, thereby realizing rapid switching of the bottle conveying path. When the frame 22 rotates, the adjustable baffle assembly 3 connected to the frame 22 also rotates, changing the guide path of the bottle. By adjusting the rotation angle of the frame 22, the bottle can be accurately guided into the first output section 12 or the second output section 13, ensuring that the bottle can be flexibly allocated according to the working state of the filling machine. The diversion mechanism 2 can automatically switch the bottle conveying path according to the actual working state of the filling machine. When a set of filling machine lines enters the bottle queuing waiting state, the linear extension driver 25 quickly acts to switch the bottle to another set of filling machine lines, ensuring continuous bottle conveying and avoiding production interruption. This automated switching function reduces manual intervention, reduces operational complexity and labor costs, and improves production efficiency and equipment operation stability.

[0021] In this embodiment, it is further preferred that the linear telescopic actuator 25 is a linear cylinder. Powered by gas pressure, the piston makes linear reciprocating motion in the cylinder to achieve the pushing and pulling action. This power method has a rapid response and high motion control precision, and can accurately realize linear motion within a predetermined stroke.

[0022] In this embodiment, it is further preferred that the adjustable baffle assembly 3 includes a fixing block 31, an adjusting rod 32, a locking bolt 33, and a baffle 34. The fixing block 31 is installed on the inner side of the frame 22. The adjusting rod 32 passes through the inner hole of the fixing block 31 and connects to the baffle. A guide path is formed between the two baffles 34. The fixing block 31 is provided with a vertically penetrating threaded hole. The locking bolt 33 is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole and is used to press against the adjusting rod 32 to fix its position. By adjusting the position of the adjusting rod 32 in the fixing block 31, the distance between the two baffles can be flexibly adjusted, thereby precisely controlling the width of the guide path to adapt to the conveying needs of bottles of different specifications and sizes, and improving the versatility and flexibility of the device.

[0023] In this embodiment, it is further preferred that the front and rear sides of the baffle 34 are provided with guide plates 35 that are inclined outwards. When the bottle enters the guide path, the guide plates 35 can play a good guiding role, so that the bottle can enter the conveying path more smoothly, reduce the collision and friction between the bottle and the baffle, and protect the bottle surface from damage.

[0024] In this embodiment, it is further preferred that the first output section 12 is arranged in a straight line, while the second output section 13 has a curved transition section and a straight output section parallel to the first output section 12. The transition section can provide the necessary path conversion, and the straight output section ensures that the bottle finally enters the filling machine in the correct posture, so that the two filling machines can be arranged in parallel, making the overall production line layout more compact and reasonable.

[0025] In this embodiment, it is further preferred that the bottom of the belt conveyor mechanism 1 is provided with a plurality of support columns 4, and the bottom end of each support column 4 is provided with three horizontally arranged bottom rods 5. The three bottom rods 5 are evenly spaced around the circumference of the support column 4. Each bottom rod 5 is provided with a suction cup foot pad 6 at the end away from the support column 4, which makes the equipment more stable during operation, can bear more bottle weight, and reduces the risk of equipment tipping over. The suction cup foot pad 6 increases the friction with the ground and prevents the equipment from sliding during operation.

[0026] Considering that some bottles are quite tall and have different dimensions at the top and bottom, a single guardrail is insufficient to provide effective restraint, making them prone to tilting and collapse during transport. To address this issue, such as... Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, a further preferred embodiment includes a bottle limiting assembly 7 installed on the frame of the belt conveyor. The bottle limiting assembly 7 includes a positioning plate 71, an adjusting plate 72, a limiting plate 73, and a fixing bolt 74. The two positioning plates 71 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame. The top of the positioning plate 71 is provided with an adjusting plate 72, which has a vertical through-hole. The screw of the fixing bolt 74 passes through the through-hole and engages with the threaded hole on the positioning plate 71 to fix the position of the adjusting plate 72. One end of the adjusting plate 72 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 73. The position of the limiting plate 73 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual size of the upper part of the bottle to ensure that the bottle maintains the correct posture during the conveying process, avoiding tilting and collapse, and improving the stability and accuracy of the conveying. This limiting assembly has good versatility and can adapt to various bottle sizes. By simply adjusting the position of the adjusting plate 72, the limiting requirements of different bottles can be met without replacing the entire limiting assembly, thus reducing production costs.

[0027] It is worth noting that the technical features of belt conveyors, cylinders, etc. involved in this utility model patent application should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle, and possible control methods and spatial arrangement of these technical features can be conventionally selected in the field and should not be regarded as the inventive point of this utility model patent. This utility model patent will not elaborate further.

[0028] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made by those skilled in the art based on the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
